An extraordinary collection of 24 very rare maps and engravings. Collected by Johann Ludwig Wilhelm Scherer and printed in Halle in 1802. Some of the maps don't have the publisher printed on the cartouches since this is an advanced copy intended for the publisher.

Bound in a contemporary fine leather binding. All maps are extremely scarce and some of them are without the publisher's legend, making them unique on the market.

Maps are in various dimensions, with some of them folding.
All of them are in fine condition with minimal traces of wear and aging, a few are slightly stained.

Maps are collected with the purpose of an introduction to the historical understanding of the Bible. A list of maps can be found on the first page:

1) Tafel der Altvater von der Sundfluth

Description:
Amsterdam: Visscher, Nicholas (Nicolaus), 1685. Very good, early color (perhaps some recent enhancement), few tiny worm holes, minor restoration at lower right (no image loss) and flattened center fold. Minmial browning margins. The date is approximate. Numerous biblical vignettes, some with Hebrew lettering. This was done for a Dutch bible, this one published by Visscher in Amsterday. Shirley's entry 457 is a similar map but without the Visscher imprint (and this issue does not have the tabular information in the lower central area. North America is labeled with "Japhet," and "Eden" is shown towards the cetner of the depiction of Asia. The vignettes are quite decorative. Moxon was a print and globe-maker, and he was the first tradesman to be elected to the Royal Society (online Dictionary of National Biography). The image measures 32 x 46 cm (18 x 12.5 inches), and has good margins..

The first plate exists in four states, dated 1674, 1679, 1681, and 1684 (this one). An enlarged version of a previous map by Nicolas Sanson, beautiful and striking. Wheat 65, citing the 1684 edition.
